EXPENSE.Mr. Editor: I notice in your issue ofthis morning a mention of waterwork*, for the town. It is eminentlyproper to nave the matter discussed;others should join you and tne discussionshould not end till they arecompleted. But with your permission,I should like fco change the word"expense" in the phrase, "at the expense01 the taxpayers" to investment.The succe?1 "t every such undertakingdepend.- u on whi-ttier people considerit the one or ihe other. As long asthey look at it as an expense, it w adead issue; as soon as they consider itan investment, it takes on life and bexlienor rfiftlilv. Snr.h an enterpri?e r*">'elyand wholly au investment;i. s as free from the elementof ex. - as any other investment.If a to .vn issues $40,000 in bonds fora plan! for water works and electric 'lights, it is an investment and a mostpaying one It differs from an investmentin factory stock or bonds in thatits dividends always come indirectly,but they come no less sorely and onan ever io creasing scale. Many ofthe interior towns of this State?someno larger than this?have made similarinvestments and have pronouncedthem a success. Winnsboro woulddo well to imitate their example; thematter is well worthy of immediateconsideration.Very well do I remember when theground was first broken tor the waterworks of Spartanburg. It was at thebeginning of that city's rapidly increasingprosperity. A few daysafter, a twelve-year-old boy, at thehouse where I was boarding, came infrom school and with unbounded joyannounced the fact that Spartanburgwas to have a great female col lege.The wa*er works were completed;Converse College came; factories followed;and the Spartanburg town of3,500 ton years ago is to-day a smallcity- of more than 10,000 and withUnPo'iAeo AVk/3 * r\ f rtl tl O 1 ftotltrifruuoiutjao auu avuiiv;than any tc?,wn in the State. I imaginethe Winasboro lads at the certain announcementof water works and electriclights would give unheard-of expressionsof delight and patriotism inthese regions. Let the boys have achance. J.
